The results show that the partition of the material and the variation of the q2 parameter make the J-resistance curves obtained by numerical simulations close to the experimental values. The numerical J-resistance curves and crack growth paths are consistent with the experiment results, which show that the GTN damage model can incorporate the in-plane constraint effect. Furthermore, after the stress, strain and damage fields at the crack tip during the crack propagation process have been calculated, and the change of the J-resistance curves, crack growth paths and fracture mechanism with in-plane constraint have been analyzed.展开更多

To obtain the - solvus temperatures, the stepwise solution and aging heat treatments were used. DSC analysis shows that Re leads to the increase in freezing range and γ-solvus temperature. On the contrast, Ru only has negligible influence on the freezing range, but leads to the lower γ-solvus temperature. In comparison with Ru, Re leads to more severe segregation and higher eutectic fractions in as-cast microstructures. Furthermore, the castability and phase stability of Ni-based superalloys were analyzed by the results of DSC and metallographic analysis, such as freezing range, critical nucleation temperature, γ-solvus temperature and eutectic fractions. It shows that Re leads to the wider freezing range and lower critical nucleation temperature, indicating the worse castability of Re-con- taining Ni-based single-crystal superalloys.展开更多

The on-line experiments were conducted on 304 stainless steel and GCr15 steel hot continuous rolling process to prove the results of simulation by implicit static FEM. The results show that the temperature results of finite element simulations are in good agreement with experiments, which indicate that the FE model developed in this study is effective and efficient.展开更多

The method is used to analyze the motion response and mooring line tension of the flatfish cage system in waves. The cage system consists of top frames, netting, mooring lines, bottom frames, and floats. A series of scaled physical model tests in regular waves are conducted to verify the numerical model. The comparison results show that the simulated and the experimental results agree well under the wave conditions, and the maximum pitch of the bottom frame with two orientations is about 12o. The motion process of the whole cage system in the wave can be described with the computer visualized technology. Then, the mooring line tensions and the motion of the bottom frame with three kinds of weight are calculated under different wave conditions. According to the numerical results, the differences in mooring line tensions of flatfish cages with three weight modes are indistinct. The maximum pitch of the bottom frame decreases with the increase of the bottom weight.展开更多

The Principal Component Analysis was applied in a sample consisting of workers of the S?o Paulo Metropolitan Area, based on the origin-destination home interview survey, carried out in 1997, in order to: 1) examine the interdependence between travel patterns and a set of socioeconomic and urban environment variables;2) determine if the original database can be synthetized on components. The results enabled to observe relations between the individual’s socio-economic class and car usage, characteristics of urban environment and destination choices, as well as age and non-motorized travel mode choice. It is then concluded that the database can be adequately summarized in three components for subsequent analysis: 1) urban environment;2) socio-economic class;and 3) family structure.展开更多

文摘To enhance the mechanical reliability of dental prostheses under long-term service conditions,this study aimed to evaluate the fracture behavior and energy dissipation characteristics of three commonly used prosthetic materials,namely,zirconia ceramics(ZrO_(2)),cobalt-chromium alloy(Co-Cr),and titanium-zirconium alloy(Ti-13Zr),under various crack configurations.A three-dimensional finite element model of a single-crown prosthesis incorporating predefined cracks was established,and both axial and oblique multidirectional loads were applied.Using LS-DYNA software,the deformation patterns,principal stress distribution,and energy release characteristics during crack propagation were systematically analyzed.The experimental results indicate that Ti-13Zr alloy exhibited the highest crack resistance,making it particularly suitable for patients with insufficient bone volume or limited implant space.Co-Cr alloy demonstrated favorable structural stability and mechanical performance under high-load conditions.In contrast,due to its inherent brittleness,ZrO_(2)was more prone to rapid fracture propagation in long-span or high-stress scenarios,although it remains a preferred option for anterior esthetic zones and patients with metal sensitivities.Furthermore,the simulation outcomes were theoretically validated using Griffith's energy-based fracture criterion,reinforcing the accuracy of failure predictions based on principal stress analysis.This study elucidates the differences in clinical applicability among prosthetic materials and reveals their distinct fracture mechanisms,thereby providing a theoretical foundation for optimizing material selection and structural design.The findings contribute to improving the long-term safety and functional stability of implant-supported dental restorations.

文摘Background:The phenomenon of multimorbidity in chronic diseases among the elderly is prevalent,and its significant association with depression poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of older adults.Current research on the associations between 24-hour movement behaviors(including physical activity,sedentary behavior,and sleep)and depression has largely been confined to examining the effects of single behaviors,overlooking the intrinsic compositional nature and interrelationships among these behaviors.Therefore,it is necessary to investigate the integrated effects of 24-hour movement behaviors on depression in older adults with multimorbidity from a holistic,compositional perspective.Methods:From November 2024 to April 2025,a total of 226 older adult patients with multimorbidity were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Changzhou City.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire,the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form(IPAQ-SF),the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9).Compositional data analysis and isotemporal substitution models were employed for statistical analysis.Results:The mean daily durations of Light-Intensity Physical Activity(LPA),Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity(MVPA),Sedentary Behavior(SB),and Sleep(SLP)in older adults with multimorbidity were 402.48 min,12.04 min,511.52 min,and 458.68 min,respectively.The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 37.6%.Compositional data analysis revealed that SB was positively associated with depression(βSB=1.005,P=0.006),while SLP was negatively associated with depression(βSLP=−1.736,P<0.001).No statistically significant associations were found between MVPA or LPA and depression(P>0.05).In the 10-minute isotemporal substitution model,replacing SB with any other behavioral component was associated with a decrease in depression scores.Conversely,substituting SLP with either LPA or SB resulted in an increase in depression scores,while substituting SLP with MVPA led to a decrease in depression scores.The dose-response analysis revealed that,among the isotemporal substitution effects,replacing SB with SLP and replacing SLP with MVPA were the substitution pathways associated with the most rapid decline in depression scores,representing the greatest beneficial health effects.Conclusion:The prevalence of depression is notably high among older adults with multimorbidity.Reducing daily sedentary behavior(SB),maintaining adequate sleep(SLP),and increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA)can improve depressive symptoms and enhance overall health in this population.

文摘Railway noise barriers are an essential piece of infrastructure for reducing noise propagation.However,these barriers experience aerodynamic loads generated by high-speed trains,leading to dynamic effects that may compromise their fatigue capacity.The most common structural design for railway noise barriers consists of vertical configurations of posts and panels.However,there have been few dynamic analyses of steel post/wood panel noise barriers under train-induced aerodynamic loads.This study used dynamic finite element analysis to assess the dynamic behavior of such noise barriers.Analysis of a 40-m-long noise barrier model and a triangular simplified load model,the latter of which effectively represented the detailed aerodynamic load,were first used to establish the model and input of the moving load during dynamic simulation.Then,the effects of different parameters on the dynamic response of the noise barrier were evaluated,including the damping ratio,the profile of the steel post,the span length of the panel,the barrier height,and the train speed.Gray relational analysis indicated that barrier height exhibited the highest correlations with the dynamic responses,followed by train speed,post profile,span length,and damping ratio.A reduction in the natural frequency and an increase in the train speed result in a higher peak response and more pronounced fluctuations between the nose and tail waves.The dynamic amplification factor(DAF)was found to be related to both the natural frequency and train speed.A model was proposed showing that the DAF significantly increases as the square of the natural frequency decreases and the cube of the train speed rises.

文摘In this work, a set of GTN (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman) parameters of the Alloy52M dissimilar metal welded joint (DMWJ) have been calibrated, and a micromechanical analysis of in-plane constraint effects on the local fracture behavior of two cracks, which located in the weakest regions of the DMWJ, has been investigated by the local approach based on the GTN damage model. The results show that the partition of the material and the variation of the q2 parameter make the J-resistance curves obtained by numerical simulations close to the experimental values. The numerical J-resistance curves and crack growth paths are consistent with the experiment results, which show that the GTN damage model can incorporate the in-plane constraint effect. Furthermore, after the stress, strain and damage fields at the crack tip during the crack propagation process have been calculated, and the change of the J-resistance curves, crack growth paths and fracture mechanism with in-plane constraint have been analyzed.

文摘To clarify the solidification behavior of Re- and Ru-containing Ni-based single-crystal superalloys, four experimental alloys with varied contents of Re and Ru were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and metallographic techniques. To obtain the - solvus temperatures, the stepwise solution and aging heat treatments were used. DSC analysis shows that Re leads to the increase in freezing range and γ-solvus temperature. On the contrast, Ru only has negligible influence on the freezing range, but leads to the lower γ-solvus temperature. In comparison with Ru, Re leads to more severe segregation and higher eutectic fractions in as-cast microstructures. Furthermore, the castability and phase stability of Ni-based superalloys were analyzed by the results of DSC and metallographic analysis, such as freezing range, critical nucleation temperature, γ-solvus temperature and eutectic fractions. It shows that Re leads to the wider freezing range and lower critical nucleation temperature, indicating the worse castability of Re-con- taining Ni-based single-crystal superalloys.

文摘An FE model was developed to study thermal behavior during the rod and wire hot continuous rolling process. The FE code MSC. Marc was used in the simulation using implicit static arithmetic. The whole rolling process of 30 passes was separated and simulated with several continuous 3D elastic-plastic FE models. A rigid pushing body and a data transfer technique were introduced into this model. The on-line experiments were conducted on 304 stainless steel and GCr15 steel hot continuous rolling process to prove the results of simulation by implicit static FEM. The results show that the temperature results of finite element simulations are in good agreement with experiments, which indicate that the FE model developed in this study is effective and efficient.

文摘This paper presents a simulation model based on the finite element method. The method is used to analyze the motion response and mooring line tension of the flatfish cage system in waves. The cage system consists of top frames, netting, mooring lines, bottom frames, and floats. A series of scaled physical model tests in regular waves are conducted to verify the numerical model. The comparison results show that the simulated and the experimental results agree well under the wave conditions, and the maximum pitch of the bottom frame with two orientations is about 12o. The motion process of the whole cage system in the wave can be described with the computer visualized technology. Then, the mooring line tensions and the motion of the bottom frame with three kinds of weight are calculated under different wave conditions. According to the numerical results, the differences in mooring line tensions of flatfish cages with three weight modes are indistinct. The maximum pitch of the bottom frame decreases with the increase of the bottom weight.
文摘This paper presents an innovative investigation on prototyping a digital twin(DT)as the platform for human-robot interactive welding and welder behavior analysis.This humanrobot interaction(HRI)working style helps to enhance human users'operational productivity and comfort;while data-driven welder behavior analysis benefits to further novice welder training.This HRI system includes three modules:1)a human user who demonstrates the welding operations offsite with her/his operations recorded by the motion-tracked handles;2)a robot that executes the demonstrated welding operations to complete the physical welding tasks onsite;3)a DT system that is developed based on virtual reality(VR)as a digital replica of the physical human-robot interactive welding environment.The DT system bridges a human user and robot through a bi-directional information flow:a)transmitting demonstrated welding operations in VR to the robot in the physical environment;b)displaying the physical welding scenes to human users in VR.Compared to existing DT systems reported in the literatures,the developed one provides better capability in engaging human users in interacting with welding scenes,through an augmented VR.To verify the effectiveness,six welders,skilled with certain manual welding training and unskilled without any training,tested the system by completing the same welding job;three skilled welders produce satisfied welded workpieces,while the other three unskilled do not.A data-driven approach as a combination of fast Fourier transform(FFT),principal component analysis(PCA),and support vector machine(SVM)is developed to analyze their behaviors.Given an operation sequence,i.e.,motion speed sequence of the welding torch,frequency features are firstly extracted by FFT and then reduced in dimension through PCA,which are finally routed into SVM for classification.The trained model demonstrates a 94.44%classification accuracy in the testing dataset.The successful pattern recognition in skilled welder operations should benefit to accelerate novice welder training.
文摘The main objective of this study is to analyze work travel-related behavior through a set of variables relative to socio-economic class, urban environment and travel characteristics. The Principal Component Analysis was applied in a sample consisting of workers of the S?o Paulo Metropolitan Area, based on the origin-destination home interview survey, carried out in 1997, in order to: 1) examine the interdependence between travel patterns and a set of socioeconomic and urban environment variables;2) determine if the original database can be synthetized on components. The results enabled to observe relations between the individual’s socio-economic class and car usage, characteristics of urban environment and destination choices, as well as age and non-motorized travel mode choice. It is then concluded that the database can be adequately summarized in three components for subsequent analysis: 1) urban environment;2) socio-economic class;and 3) family structure.
